0: The Fool

The infinite number 0, life, death, and rebirth, The Fool dances among the stars, pure in his nakedness. Three crabs of fortune frolic at his feet, bearing reminders of the physical, spiritual and mental journey he travels as he follows his whims into infinity.

Uranus, the planet of invention, furnishes The Fool with celestial miracles that keep him safe, even as a sinister moon portends challenges yet to come.

Upright

• Opportunity
• Trust
• Potential

Optimism is your armour, innocence is your sword. Take them with you and go into battle against inaction.

Perhaps The Fool is not you, but some other traveller on the same road. Enjoy their spontaneity and ignore the threat of instability. Great, undisciplined mental energy will carry you far.

Inverted

• Recklessness
• Fear
• Forbearance

Poking the bees’ nest of fate does not always yield sweet honey. Instead, mighty hornets spring forth, attacking you and those around you. Perhaps now is the time to lay down your stick.

If The Fool is a fellow traveller, you must accept their eccentricities or leave them to travel their own path; efforts to constrain their energy lead only to disappointment.
